THREE BIG THINGS THIS WEEK
Pull Requests, Pull Requests, and more Pull Requests. We hope to merge in all non-draft PRs this week in preparation for removing the dev branch.
Reviewing the design document for modeling variability in growth.
The restructuring of random effects is underway, led by Nathan and Andrea, where the hope is to make the random-effects structure more generic and allow for priors on all quantities, whether they are parameters or derived quantities.

PHOTO OF THE WEEK
This will be the last FIMS Weekly for a while as we test out using the GitHub Discussion Board to post weekly summaries. Using GitHub Discussions will allow everyone with a GitHub account to subscribe (or unsubscribe 🙁) to the specific GitHub Discussion Thread without requiring us to set up a list serve. The thread is called Project Updates and it exists in the Announcement section. Please navigate to the link and click ‘Subscribe’ if you aren’t already subscribed to all FIMS Discussions. See the image for where the subscribe button is located.
